Gate Drive Transformers for IGBT need to ensure excellent switching behavior as well as safe galvanic separation between high and low voltage side.
VACUUMSCHMELZE developed a new SMD gate drive transformer in close cooperation with Infineon that is optimized for industrial drive applications using 1200V power modules with current classes up to 900A.
Infineon’s new evaluation board EVAL-1EDS20I12SV for EconoDUAL™ 3 modules is equipped with this gate drive transformer.
The transformer is built according to IEC 61800-5-1 for „Adjustable speed electrical power drive systems“ and features reinforced insulation. Due to state-of-the-art winding and insulation concepts the transformer exhibits highest corona extinction voltages.
